I have no idea but I have been wanting him to come back for years now. Like Norm Lewis, Audra McDonald, Norbert Leo Butz, and Aaron Tveit, they are all best live. Their talents are wasted on dumb television shows. He left Supergirl full time so I think he is coming back!!!

If we are talking already running, I can seen him jumping into Waitress with McPhee when she returns.

You would be surprised; what with his Newsies, Smash, Supergirl, etc. fame PLUS a voice-role on the Tangled series. Jeremy Jordan might not be the most bankable name, but there are definitely people who know who he is!
Him being in Waitress with McPhee makes perfect and wonderful sense. He is wonderful for that role and it would a little Smash reunion. I hope that's it!

I don't think he's leaving his job for a Broadway show, I think the show demoted him to a recurring role (not because of him personally, probably for creative reasons) and he saw it as an opportunity to go back to musical theatre.

He’s already stepped down from series regular to someone who will appear in a few episodes in the new season so that ship has already sailed. I’ve watched every episode so obviously I’m a fan of the show, but it’s not stupid if he wants to use his considerable talents elsewhere while keeping his toe in the door of the superhero universe. I also imagine that the show (which had to jump networks after it was cancelled) only has a few seasons left. Better he start exploring his options now. I’m also guessing he is grateful for the regular paycheck, but misses live theater.
Update: I just re-read your post. I agree it would be smarter if he goes into a new show or revival rather than as a replacement. Although if he does, I’m pulling for him in Waitress. I enjoyed Waitress immensely, but kinda considered it a one-and-done, but I’d be tempted to see it again with him in it.

This was actually the first thing I thought of, but I don’t know how well he really dances. Jack Kelly wasn’t in King of New York, and actually didn’t do that much of the difficult dancing in Seize the Day. The other shows he’s done weren’t really dance heavy.
